Problems after sync to 4532
by Andrew Hunstiger 26 Sep '13

26 Sep '13

Sorry if this is the wrong channel to send this to. Not sure what happened, but after syncing to the latest version the web portal seems to be broken. Checking the logs the poller is still working, I just can't access the web page any more. Checking the error logs the only two events that keep popping up when I try to load the page are: [Wed Sep 25 09:29:53 2013] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_SL in /opt/observium/html/index.php on line 212 [Wed Sep 25 09:52:04 2013] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_SL in /opt/observium/html/index.php on line 215 Line 212 points to the start of what I pasted in below. The only part that stood out to me (I honestly have no idea what I am doing, just trying to troubleshoot) is what I highlighted below: { // Warn about lack of mcrypt unless told not to. <<<<<<< .mine <<<<<<< .mine <<<<<<< .mine if($config['login_remember_me'] = FALSE && (!function_exists('mcrypt_decrypt') || !function_exists('mcrypt_encrypt'))) ======= if($config['login_remember_me'] == TRUE && (!function_exists('mcrypt_decrypt') || !function_exists('mcrypt_encrypt'))) ======= if($config['login_remember_me'] = TRUE && (!function_exists('mcrypt_decrypt') || !function_exists('mcrypt_encrypt'))) ======= if($config['login_remember_me'] == TRUE && (!function_exists('mcrypt_decrypt') || !function_exists('mcrypt_encrypt'))) >>>>>>> .r4532 >>>>>>> .r4471 >>>>>>> .r4532 { print_error('Observium now requires mcrypt to be installed for use by the "remember me" function. Please install the php5-mcrypt package on Ubuntu/Debian or the php-mcrypt package on RHEL/Centos. Alternatively, you can disable this $ } // Authenticated. Print a page. if (isset($vars['page']) && !strstr("..", $vars['page']) && is_file("pages/" . $vars['page'] . ".inc.php")) { include("pages/" . $vars['page'] . ".inc.php"); } else { if (isset($config['front_page']) && is_file($config['front_page'])) { include($config['front_page']); } else { include("pages/front/default.php"); } } } } Once I commented those lines out, the page was able to load without any problems. // <<<<<<< .mine // <<<<<<< .mine // <<<<<<< .mine if($config['login_remember_me'] = FALSE && (!function_exists('mcrypt_decrypt') || !function_exists('mcrypt_encrypt'))) // ======= if($config['login_remember_me'] == TRUE && (!function_exists('mcrypt_decrypt') || !function_exists('mcrypt_encrypt'))) // ======= if($config['login_remember_me'] = TRUE && (!function_exists('mcrypt_decrypt') || !function_exists('mcrypt_encrypt'))) // ======= if($config['login_remember_me'] == TRUE && (!function_exists('mcrypt_decrypt') || !function_exists('mcrypt_encrypt'))) // >>>>>>> .r4532 // >>>>>>> .r4471 // >>>>>>> .r4532 Also, once I did the sync, there was an error (wish I wrote it down first) when running the "./discovery.php -h none" command. I had to follow the following article to fix the problem: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16677558/startup-unable-to-load-dynamic-… Andrew [Description: Description: Description: email_web address] Andrew Hunstiger - Network Administrator I 1500 N.

Re: [Observium] notify
by Rob VanHooren 26 Sep '13

26 Sep '13

on that note, when considering thresholds in the alert system, one desirable feature may be to trigger on 'zero' as well as some upper bound. i.e., my demarc might be just fine, but if somebody stops sending me traffic on a provisioned link, release the hounds! (because they'll blame my link anyway) R.

Re: [Observium] Interface description, auto-add to billing?
by Adam Armstrong 26 Sep '13

Oh man. This is an ancient historical feature from like 2009 that I think broke in 2009 :) The enabling/disabling option is still in the config. But it won't work.

Interface description, auto-add to billing?
by Luis Quintana 26 Sep '13

26 Sep '13

I could have sworn I had seen something where I can enable an auto-add feature in order for ports to be automatically added, into the billing piece, with a particular pattern in the port description. Is this something that is available or will be available? i cant seem to find it again for some reason and I remember even seeing the pattern that was given, which would need to change in my particular instance. Any ideas on this one?

SQL query instead of port detail
by Wolfgang Eitel 25 Sep '13

25 Sep '13

hi. I just installed another instance ob observium. While my first one is working like a charm (installed 6 weeks ago) this one has a strange behaviour. For example: When I click on a device and then click on the showed graph I do net get the port details with more detailed RRD graph (where you can changes the range with time and date). Instead only a SQL query is showed :( Any ideas what causes the issue? best, Wolfgang

Polling Intervals
by Robbie Wright 24 Sep '13

24 Sep '13

So we're relatively new to Observium and hacking out way through getting it integrated and tested in our environment. One common thing (that we can't find in the faq's or documentation) other tools use is the ability to change polling intervals. On our edge firewall, we might want one minute queries while on SAN volumes we might want 30 minute disk checks. Is there any way to adjust that per device/device type/globally?

Disable auto adding ports on Mikrotik PPPoE Server
by Petar Janev 24 Sep '13

24 Sep '13

Hi I have two Mikrotik PPPoE Servers added to Observium and it constantly adding new ports as users get connected with PPPoE ports, and then deleted as user disconnects. After some time a lot of ports appear in Deleted Port, that I need to manually delete them, and also disk space grows as new rrd's gets created. I tried adding "bad_if" in config file but without success, because this interfaces don't have description. Also is there any way to permanently delete this previously added port from database and rrd folder. Thanks, Petar Janev

macsuck CAM tables?
by Joel Krauska 24 Sep '13

24 Sep '13

I would love to see a Mac Address forwarding table grab in observium for L2 devices. Maybe it's already there, but I couldn't find it. In NetDisco, this feature is implemented using the 'macsuck' tool. *http://www.netdisco.org/readme.html#glossary* I've implemented it before in sloppy perl using the Bridge mib. * http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk648/tk362/technologies_tech_note09186a008… * The gist for collection is: - determine the list of active vlans - for each vlan get a list of mac addresses per 'bridge port' - lookup a translation of bridgeport to ifindex If you correlate this data with a global ARP table and DNS, you get a killer feature. "Lookup the switch port where a given host was last seen. (and hopefully where it still is)" Because this can be a pretty dynamic dataset, you'll also probably want to maintain the list by putting a last seen datestamp and rolling out old entries. I think I've found a few hints at some development interest in the past about this sort of feature. Has it gotten any traction? Cheers, Joel
